27 Apr Why You Shouldn’t Fuss with Stamps for Your Business Mail
If direct mailing is part of your business strategy, stamps may seem like a necessary expense, but are they really? For businesses with bulk mailing needs, stamps could be the most inefficient and least cost-effective solution for sending your item in the post. Postage meters, including meters that use Intelligent Mail Indicia or IMI, could change the way you deal with your business mail, making it less expensive and time consuming. If you’re still dealing with stamps, here are some of the reasons you should consider to switching to a postage meter for your mailings.
Meters are more efficient.
For mass mailings, working with stamps is a labor-intensive process. Even if you have self-adhesive stamps, every piece of mail has to have postage individually affixed, which can be extremely time-consuming. When stamps have to be licked, the process can take even longer—and be even more unpleasant. A meter does all the work of applying postage to your mail for you. You can set your envelopes to run and get back to the more important jobs associated with running your business.
Metered mail can look more professional.
Customers are accustomed to see mail that comes from businesses have metered postage. When it doesn’t, they may assume that the business isn’t professional or that it is too small of an operation to have the ability to send metered mail. Using a postage meter can communicate to your customers that your business is serious and legitimate, so that they are more likely to trust you.
Meters make employees happy.
No employee wants to be the person stuck with the task of affixing stamps to hundreds of envelopes. It keeps them away from other responsibilities and is a frustrating process. Having a meter will make your employees more satisfied with their work.
